Hash Brown Waffles

Hash brown waffles are a fun take and easy take on traditional hash browns by making them crispy and delicious in the waffle maker! 

Hash browns made in the waffle maker are always a hit at our house. Great for breakfast along with homemade blueberry muffins and crescent roll cinnamon rolls. 

Hash Brown Waffles

Hash Brown Waffle Ingredients

• Shredded potato – Specifically, a bag of frozen hash browns or refrigerated hash browns. 
• Cheese – Shredded.  I like a fiesta blend, but you can use whatever you like or whatever you have on hand. 
• Seasoned salt – You could also use a little of our spice rub recipe, or just some salt and pepper!
• Pan release – I like to use this homemade pan release, but you can also use something store bought or just oil or melted butter. 

How do you make hashbrown waffles? (step-by-step)

⭐ First, preheat waffle iron and spray the waffle iron or coat with non-stick pan release or cooking spray. 

⭐ Then, mix together defrosted hash browns, shredded cheese, and seasoned salt. 

⭐ Next, place potato mixture onto preheated waffle iron and close tightly. 

⭐ Finally, cook through waffle iron heating cycle until hash browns are golden brown and crisped to your liking. 

Preparation

Can you make hash brown waffles ahead of time?

Yes! I like to make a pile of them at the beginning of the week and enjoy for breakfast or snacks all week long. Crisp them up in the toaster oven before enjoying. 

Can you make hash brown waffles without cheese?

We use the cheese to help bind the hash brown together, but if you can’t handle, or just don’t want to use cheese they can be made without. Just know that they won’t hold together quite as well. 

Alternatively, you can mix a gently scrambled egg into the hash brown mix before cooking. 

Can I use freshly shredded potato?

Yes, but you’ll want to soak the shredded potato for at least 30 minutes (or as long as overnight) before cooking). Drain before using. 

Leftovers and storage

How long do hash brown waffles last?

These will keep in the refrigerator for about a week. For best results store in an air tight container. 

Can you freeze hash brown waffles?

Yes! Reheat in the toaster oven until crispy again. No need to thaw before re-heating. 

The waffles will last in the freezer several months. Make sure to store in a freezer-safe, air tight container. 

What to eat with hash brown waffles (serving suggestions)

I love to top mine with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. You can also use the waffles in place of bread like we do in this open face turkey club recipe. For dessert try a quick oreo fluff!
